Happy Birthday

Watched the movie "Happy Birthday" yesterday. I'll say it's a nice movie with lots of touching scences. As a leaking tap, I can't help it but cried. Go watch it if you love to watch romance movie. It's definitely one of the best!

On a very irrelevant note, I cut my finger in lab yesterday while washing a chipped beaker. I don't even know I cut my finger till I saw the torn gloves. Thinking that it's just a normal cut, washing it under running water should be able to stop the bleeding. But it didn't! So I applied pressure on the cut using tissue paper. Still it didn't stop bleeding! And without me knowing, there's lots of people crowding around me. The cut finally stop bleeding after applying pressure on the cut for 20 mins with iodine. They even told me that if the cut don't stop bleeding they are going to send me see a doctor. I thought it's just a small cut and think no big deal about it. Maybe it's because I was cut in the lab, and lab is the place full of bacteria, germs and toxic. Thanks for all the care and concern, I'm perfectly fine now! As you can see, I'm still able to blog. The cut had stopped bleeding but the location of the cut is on the joint area, so it will take a longer time to heal. And I'm now on the chart of injury! Wahaa...

Sometimes, I just feel that maybe I'm too demanding. Hoping for something to happen to change whatever had happened. Maybe that's because nothing had happened. We have just moved back to the starting point, when the both of us are still strangers. If that's happening, then why do my heart aches so much whenever I think about you? Maybe that's part of the growing process. If that's so, I HATE GROWING UP!

As Promised 2...

Whenever I want to have a long post, I need to split them up. I HATE IT but I got no choice. I just can't upload all the photos into one single post. So here's part 2...

At the hours of singing increase, you get to see all kinds of unsightly sitting pose of people.

Dinner at Sakura. We don't think we eat enough to make our money worth-while, but I seriously enjoyed myself with all the jokes and laughters.

The best way to help in digestion is to take silly photos. So we took tonnes of them. Haa... I can't believe we nearly took 100 photos today.

I think the 4 of us share a special relationship and I really hope to maintain it.

Sometimes, I think it's just so hard to understand how his thought. The things he said always contradicts with the other things he said. You never know which one is true and by trying to guess, you make yourself real sad and unhappy. Maybe the best way is to forget. But can we just forget someone so easily. If you can do it, then I doubt in the first place you seriously like him.

Post Note: I think I'm really not a buffet person. 1st, I always never eat enoughto make my money worth-while. 2nd, in order to make my money more worth-while, I always over-eat. That's bad for aperson on diet like me. 3rd, I always get so bloated after a buffet. 4th, in order to make myself feel better, I will vomit some of the food out when I bath. THAT'S VERY VERY BAD!!!! I hate to vomit out food but I just can't seem to control it. Though it really feel so much better after vomitting, it's seems to be quite bad for my health and unnormal too. I have been trying to control by avoiding heavy dinner. I seriously think that it's a physcological problem and I'm trying very hard to overcome it.

As Promised...

I'm back!!! With lots of photos to post. I know you people will love the photos...

Wednesday

Met up with Shuyi to Mediacorps to watch Project Superstar 2 Guys Finals. Don't ask me why am I always going for such events. I just happen to know people who have tickets. Wahaa..

Shuyi support daren and I'm a neutral party. We only managed to found seats at the last row at Nat's base. But I'm actually quite happy with the seats, as least I don't have to worry about people screaming into my ears. Wahaa...

The poster was disturbed by Nat's dad for all the supporters. To my surprise, it's actually quite good quality. Guess they must have spent quite alot of many considering the big stack they printed.

Saturday

Met up with Meiying for a shopping session. She brought me to Arab Street to buy materials for my trying-to-make-my-own-necklace. We then proceed to Orchard to continue with our shopping. The plan was to catch up and maybe watched movie. Guess, we got so much to talk about and we are real shopping addict that we didn't have time to catch a movie.

Meiying really got so much prettier after her new haircut. *drooling the whole day* It's really nice meeting up with you and we still got so much to talk about.

Meiying loves these 2 photos. She thinks I look like shu nu. But I don't want to be shu nu :(

Sunday
Met up with e4 to celebrate Peishan's birthday. The forgetful me actually forgot to bring her present out. I took it out in the morning and placed it on the table to remind myself. AND I can STILL forget to put it inside my bag. Peishan, you still have to endure for another few days for me to send it over to your house. And I hope you like it!!!

We went to k-box since it's been quite some time since we last went there together. And we took alot of crap photos. Not that we're bored of listening to others' singing, but we're just trying to be funny...

Stay Tune

There's so many things that happened during this week. And I managed to meet up with lots of friends! *HAPPY!!*

Wanted to blog yesterday, but I can't find my camera cable. My mum managed to dig it out in the morning. I promised to blog tonight with lots of photos when I'm back from my ktv outing.

Time for me to go. Remember to stay tune.... =D

Angles Brought Me Here

It’s been a long and winding journey,
But I’m finally here tonight picking up the pieces and walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory where my heart and future lies
There’s nothing like that feeling when I look into your eyes

My dreams came true when I found you; I found you, my miracle

If you could see what I see
That you’re the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear, that angels brought me here

Standing here before you
Feels like I’ve been born again
Every breath is your LOVE
Every heartbeat speaks your name

My dreams came true right here in front of you my miracle

If you could see what I see
You’re the answer to my prayer
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear, that angels brought me here

Brought me here, to be with you
I'll be forever grateful, oohh forever thankful

My dreams came true when I found you my miracle

If you could see what I see
You’re the answer to my prayers, oh...
And if u could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear that angels brought me here

You know I love you baby
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear, that angels brought me here

Just friends? Oh yeah, right

I read this from Monday Life!, just wanted to share it with my friends...

There exists in folklore a concept that is all at once desirable and yet undesirable, quite unlikely and yet so tantalisingly plausible that - to this day - many cannot agree on whether or not it exists.
The believers swear they have concrete proog that it does. Cynics say believers are either being navie, lying to themselves, or tyring to serve some ulterior motive.
The concept I am speaking of is, of course, the Truly Platonic Relationship - a relationship between a non-related man and a woman that is born, bred and continues to live off "friend" energy.
I'm talking about a man and a woman who call each other "best friends", who share their thoughts and feelings, and yet - this is the important bit - have never had any sexual or romantic interest in each other. Now, most women will wonder why this topic is even up for debate.
Many will say:"Surely, this kind of thing is possible. Take Jim, I've known him for years. We're just friends. There is NO WAY he has ever ever like me."
For men, it's a little more complex.
The male stand - as far as I can tell - is: "There's no such thing as a completely platonic relationship. You are better off believing in alien abductions... but don't let women know that."
Like I said, complex.
Men don't actually think that such a relationship is possible. We kind of take it as a fairy tale we would like women to believe.
For any good heterosexual friendship to blossom, guys need a little romantic spark to get it off the ground.
A guy friend once said to me:"I don't think I could ever become a very good friends with a woman I did not want to sleep with."
While that may be taking make shallowness to another level, it's still in the same building.
To a lesser extent, a man's friendship with a woman needs attraction like a car engine needs a spark plug. Once the friendship is going, it doesn't really matter.
Without it, the friendship is doomed to stall somewhere around the "friend you meet for dinner once every couple of months" part.
Save for some very, very rare freaks of nature, this is true for all men. And men know it too, even if they may be prepared to agree that every other man in the universe is incapable of such relationship except themselves.
It's one of those thingd that is so hard to admit.
Coming out and saying "Yes, men are incapable of having a meaningful friendship with any woman they are not attracted to" carried with it a host of painful ramifications for men. (Most of which I'm sure I'm about to experience.)
It means admitting to a close female friend that, at some stage through the years you've known her, you held a torch for her.
Even if it was a little torch, a man would rather have his eyes gouged out than have to admit to that.
Probably one of the reasons he's "just friends" now is because he couldn't get up the courage to tell her in the first place. And since the feeling is gone, darn if he's going to tell her now.
Attached guys face a whole different set of problems. Letting on that platonic relationships don't exist essentially drops a bomb all the "innocent" little outings you have had with old female friends.
They can expect squeals of "I thought you said you didn't like her!" or "I knew you used to like her!" from the current girlfriend.
No surprise, then, that men will do their very best to have women believe that truly platonic relationships exist. Although, if you look closely, men often let on their true beliefs.
I took a quick survey of my female friends and found rather telling results. Of those who had men in their inner circle of friends, all of them were at least somewhat attractive.
As for those who were less blessed in the looks department, their closest friends consisted exclusively of women.
Another tell-tale sign is how men react to close male friends of their girlfriends.
Most women see nothing wrong with them hanging out with a close guy friend they've known for a long time.
Men see it as a big threat. They know the "friend" had a thing, or may still have a thing, for his girlfriend. In his mind, he wouldn't mind this "friend" being involved in a freak cement truck accident.
So there you have it. One facet of men's linear and shallow thinking laid bare. You can be sure, no matter how much some men deny it, that it's true.
Except for me. I'm not that shallow.

普通朋友

等待
我随时随地在等待
做你感情上的依赖
我没有任何的疑问
这是爱

我猜
你早就想要说明白
我觉得自己好失败
从天堂掉落到深渊
多无奈

我愿意改变
What can i do?
重新再来一遍
Just give me chance
我无法只是普通朋友
感情已那么深
叫我怎么能放手

但你说
I only wanna be your friend
做个朋友
我在
你心中只是just a friend
不是情人
我感激你对我这样的坦白
但我给你的爱暂时收不回来
So i
不能只是be your friend

I just can't be your friend

No no no

我不能只是做你的朋友

不能做普通朋友

Boggle outing

I went for Hall 10 boggle outing on Sat. I'm not a boggle player anymore since I don't stay in hall le. But I still feel happy that Hall 10 finally win the boggle championship. It's really time to show the Hall 10 people that we are a strong team and they show give us more respect.

I don't know most of the people, since there's someone offering free treat. I didn't reject and just went for it. And I conclude I'm really not a steamboat lover. I didn't really enjoy the food and I don't think it really suits me.

After that, we went to Timbre. It's a great place and I really love it. It's something like a pub with live band. The music is good and the environment is comfortable. Feel very relax there; a great place to go before school reopens.

The price there is reasonable too. We ordered a bottle of white wine and a pizza which cost us $75. I think I'm sort of fall in love with drinking le. Opps... Hope I won't turn into a dunkard. It's really a nice place to chill and I strongly recommend it to you people.

The feeling of waiting for something to happen and it didn't happen can be a great disappointment sometimes. I hate the feeling of disappoinment but there are so many things in the world that are not within my control.

Group Photo

Thanks guys for coming down on that day!

And the last one showing the whole 8 of us!

Celebration 2

Celebration ended at the Canteen, but the photo taking mood still continue when we went back to the lab. So here's more pictures of us taken at the lab.

Outside the Environmental Lab. Our second home during the holidays!

Another one with Shengli. He's one of our supervisor's student, always "stealing" the equipment from them.. :P

Video on post celebration

Video on present opening

We went to Peper Lunch for dinner before heading down to Party World for KTV session. Our friend was actually in the opposite room, so he joined us for the last 30 minutes before our session ends.

PS: If you are wondering what happen to my hair. Yap! I cut it short, as in real short. I can't tie a pony tail anymore and the only thing I can do is tuck it behind my ears. Got lots of good feedbacks that I looked much younger and short hair really suit me more. Haa!!! Cutting it short definitely makes me happier, it's like cutting away all the unhappiness in 2006! It's a new beginning for me now!

Fen's Celebration

We celebrated Fen's birthday in school today. It's an early celebration and her actual birthday is on Sunday. Thanks guys for coming down and spending so much time paying and entertaining us instead of rushing on your FYP! I think I spend most of the time entertaining you all though.

We had our lunch before the cake cutting session which is a big mistake! The cake I ordered is definitely too much for the 8 of us. Plus I didn't eat the cake as I'm not a cake-lover so theoretically there's only 7 people eating the cake.


Random photos of us having lunch before the cake cutting session.

Me and the card I bought for Fen. I wanted to make one but I'm not artistic enough :( I seriously like my xiaoai. Haa...

I'm gald everyone said that the cake is nice. Haa.. To keep Fen in surprise, thanks Yuhan for helping me to keep the cake. And the strong wind in Canteen A makes the lighting of the candles damn diffcult. Thanks Jiawei the candles lighter for doing the job and postioning us at different location to block the wind.

A video on the post birthday song singing.

Celebration won't end without cake fight. We had a really small one with not much people involved. We're planning for a big one on Eng Wee's birthday, so please be prepared to bring extra clothings on your birthday. Wahaa...

2007

This is going to be my 1st post for 2007. I hope everyone enjoyed their 2006. Even if it's not a very good year for you, don't worry. It's already over and I'm sure 2007 will definitely be better. =D

I won't say 2006 is a fantastic year for me. I enjoyed those good days and I cherished every moment. I learnt from the bad days and I hope to be a better person.

There's some resolution for my 2007. Hope I can achieve at least half of them...
1) To be a better daughter, friend and sibling.
2) To cherish whatever I have now.
3) To be happier and a less tempremental person.
4) To study harder and achieve better results. Last semester le, it's time to work really hard.
5) To lose lots and lots of weight.
6) To exercise everyday. I hope I can be determined enough to exercise everyday!
7) To find a job I'm really interested in. Finally decided on something that I might be interested in. Looking for a research job and I hope my sucky results can get me a decent research job.
8) To stop spending so much and start saving more money.
9) To save up enough money for my graduation trip.
10) To try out diving.
11) To read more books.
12) To have a better complexion.
13) To have a healthy diet and lifestyle.
14) To salvage a friendship which I really hope to mantain and continue.
